Describe the Issue

The Lab for HTTP Request/Cycle still references the API Overhead Pass Predictions for the International Space Station but according to the http://open-notify.org website, that API has been removed.

Source

## Level Up (Optional) - Investigating other API endpoints

### Next pass of International space station for a given location

Let's repeat the exercise for another endpoint `iss-pass.json`. This endpoint is used to query the next pass of the space station on a given location.

Concern

The Open Notify website states that the Next Pass api is no longer available. When I am attempting to run through the level up it is returning a 404 error that it cannot be found.

Hello,
I was unable to interpret the results of my request when I went to review them on the open notify API. I am attaching a screenshot of the response I got.

Describe the Issue

Thought I had the solution to the last problem but it still gave me an error so I looked at the solution.
The solution looked almost the same so I copied it to see if I miss something but gave a similar error.

It may just need to be updated but unsure

The error resulted in 404 which the wiki says its not available rather than not found.
